Finally, a way to prove to your LinkedIn followers that you’re proficient in vibe-coding.
LinkedIn announced a new partnership on Wednesday allowing users to official certifications in AI skills, drawing on usage data from prominent AI apps. The integration includes the video and podcast editor Descript, coding apps Lovable and Replit, and AI agent building platform Relay.app.
These platforms will use AI to assess your skills as you use them, and generate a certificate based on your usage patterns, product outcomes, and proficiency within the tools. The Microsoft-owned social network didn’t provide exact details on what users would need to do to qualify as proficient on the platform.
Once granted, certifications will appear on your LinkedIn profile alongside other professional skills.
LinkedIn plans to add more partners to the program in the coming months, including Gamma, GitHub, and Zapier. The platform is also inviting companies to register interest in being a partner in the new verified skills program.
“Jobs require fluency in the technology your employer depends on and AI proficiency; the ability to use these tools to deliver today is now the most in-demand skill. Today, trust matters more than ever. More than 100 million professionals have verified their identity on LinkedIn. Now, with the addition of verified skills, you can add an additional way to prove what you can actually do,” Hari Sirinivasan, VP of Product at LinkedIn, said in a statement.
According to a report by the learning platform eDX published last August, the number of job postings that required AI as a skill doubled in the trailing 12 months. A separate report from Indeed’s Hiring Lab echoed the same trend and noted that the number of U.S. job postings mentioning AI-related keywords rose to 4.2% by the end of 2025. The report mentioned that tech is still the most common sector where companies use AI-related words in postings, but other sectors like banking and marketing are also rising.
